Sorry for digging this old topic back. I see that my "'property' does not
play well with polymorphic code" comment generated some controversy. So
here's something in my defense:

Here's the link to stackoveflow topic I am talking about:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/237432/python-properties-and-inheritance

The solution that fits my taste:

Yes, I like decorators and descriptors. I also like the ability to create a
"virtual property" in a python class by binding a bunch of methods as
setter/getter. But I find the implementation of this "virtual property
feature" a bit awkward sometimes - every time I need to override a
getter/setter in a child class, I need to decorate them again. Some of you
may like this "explicitness", but I don't.

To Steven D'Aprano: Seriously, what's all the bashing in your last reply
about? You dissected my "thank-you reply" more strictly than the python
interpreter checking for syntax errors. Not in a mood for fight, but I find
your opinions about "bug finding time", "hacks" and "stackoverflow" quite
silly.
